Twitter gets bigger

Being a bit of a techno-phobe, Twitter has been one of those things that everybody is using but I don’t really understand.

Animal Farm

Hybrid animals could be looked at as a form of animal kingdom creativity. Why have two separate animals when you could mix two and create one? With artistic vision and a splash of linguistic license, real life animal cross-breeding has resulting in the fantastic sounding ‘liger’, a cross between a lion and tiger, and the ‘yakalo’, a … Read more

Oh Happy Dave

It’s true, everybody really does know a Dave. Coming in all shapes and sizes, they’re usually fun guys (perhaps this is because they shorten their name and all name shorteners are instantly cool). T-shirt designers from Balcony clearly know some Daves. They’ve brought out a range of t-shirts called ‘What a difference a Dave makes’, so … Read more
